+srisai youtube hi there. Glad it helped.

+Paula Gale thank you, Paula, I hope they work for you. Haha! You're not the first to comment on the 'flange' thing!! ;-))

+Bernie Strong Hi Bernie, glad to have helped😊

You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a great comment.

Dave Cooper thanks for taking the time to add a great comment. I'm glad they worked.

I'm quite proud of the title!! It's factually true though. They are the wife's drawers, they were sagging and I did fix them!! (Still fixed 3 years later!!) Cheers.

Thank you for taking the time to write a great comment. I'm glad I was able to help.

+k thank you. They do the job.

Nice one😎

Cheers Jai, they're a great little fix. Thanks for the positive comment

+nicola jayne you're welcome.

You're welcome!

It's a common problem. This video is quite old now, but still gets good views (though that may be the title)😎

Glad to be of help. Thanks for watching.

Hi Gail, thank you for the great comment. Glad to have able to help. Seasons greetings to you.

+smilertiler1 I have an easier solution just go to a thrift store and buy a cheap set chest of drawers or perhaps a yard sale

You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

+Jason A. Johnson doesn't sound like they've improved the instructions any. I made the vid as short as possible ;-))

Kind of you to say😀

You're welcome😀

I always try the least expensive and easy way first. It's quite effective usually for not a lot of effort.

Hi Cara from Idaho. Thanks for the sub, I have returned the compliment :-))

I am also cara from Idaho! Imagine my surprise when I saw this comment! 😂

You're very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment

+Jenny Lala you're welcome 😊

+Kayla Lahti I don't doubt it, Kayla. Don't know Hemnes but guessing the drawers I'm fixing here are inferior but alas more common. Thanks though ;-))

Hi there, thank you. It depends on the width of the drawer and how heavy you intend to load it. I believe the product recommends two straps per drawer but I've found on drawers these size, one in the middle is plenty.

Robert Miller You could prob still use these fix a drawer things but you'd have to use both brackets externally or internally on the underside of the drawer (If that makes sense, without seeing the drawer, its hard to advise) they definitely give you enough strapex to do a sideways fix. Thanks for watching.

Hi there. I typed 'fix a drawer' in ebay's search bar and loads came up from different sellers. The design may have changed, this vid is 3 years old now. Let me know if you don't find them and I'll post some of the sellers names for you to search.

Hi Nikki. there are a couple of screws that fit through the drawer into the metal 'runner'. just unscrew these but make a note of which holes in the runner the screws go into! An earlier commenter (mollydog44) has just the video for this if my instructions don't make sense. Thanks for the comment ;-))

+smilertiler1 .....Ha! I just found Molly's video! Thanks for the quick reply, I know what I'm doing this weekend! Now I wonder what I'll find behind the drawers that feel behind. I adore you!

Emma Riley Hi Emma, the weight we load into them and the flimsiness of the board at the bottom of the drawer combine to make the problem. These kits stop the drawer pulling apart, letting the flimsy board bow. I made this vid because the instructions that come with the kit aren't always that clear. If your dad uses these they will work.

+Mark Price not sure if this product would work sideways as it may get in way of 'runners' when opening. I have this idea of a bodge that involves two threaded hooks or eyes. With the panel out, screw one hook or eye into both sides below where panel goes. Put panel back and tie some string or wire between the hooks. With another hook, twist the wire or string so it tightens pulling the sides together. When tight enough, tape string down with strong tape to stop it unwinding. Hope this helps.

Hi there, I bought these off of ebay (UK).write 'fix a drawer' in the search bar. They are still being sold on there by several different sellers. Good luck with the repair.

Hi Rebecca, I'm hopefully going to make a video soon of an alternative way to achieve the same results using items from hardware stores. Thanks for watching.

Rebecca Spigner It looks like this company deliver to the US: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fix-A-Drawer-Repair-Sagging-Buckled-Chest-of-Drawers-Mend-Broken-Furniture-DIY-/271379342386?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT#shpCntId

missmamamoon that does sound expensive. Might pay to shop around as they are becoming more available in UK, might be the same in US.

Hi there, glad you found this video helpful. Nothing worse than sagging drawers!! Thanks.

yeah...and I have been hammering small nails around the seams...ruins the drawer.

these do seem to be the answer. hope you havent ruined your drawers so much that you cannot use them

***** well....I ordered my fix a drawer today. $20.00 USD for a 2 pack. It ships from the UK. We USA folks probably can go to Home Depot and fashion some ourselves for $5, but I have too many tedious projects to do.... I will update if I find some brackets there in the future. :))))

***** Perfect. installed them. Thanks for the tip! Your a lifesaver!

Best thing is.......they work!! Thanks for watching and the great comment.

Ann Roberts What is the name of the product?

There are many ways to solve the problem. Your way may work if you add glue into the equation.

Hi. I'm pretty sure they're available on ebay in the US. Search for 'fix a drawer'. Thanks for watching.

Hi Anne, Thanks for your view, your share and comments. On this model the rails are simply screwed to the drawer. I have come across the lever you mention. The catches are normally hooked and have to be prised up or down to release the drawer.

Nice one😎

Hi there. I'd imagine they would. These stop the weight of the contents pushing the front and rear sides of the door from spreading apart lett the drawer bottom bow and stop the draw opening.

Hi Summer. Try ebay. many of the views and comments are from the US, no one has ever said the product isn't available there

***** Thanks. I do not use Ebay after an experience with bad customer service after they let someone use my account (hacked) to bid on two Macbook Airs during a time they wouldn't even let me use my account because I had changed my name after I married.

maybe a friend who's had less probs could order them for you.

Funny and factually true😉

Karen Anslow Hi karen, I bought mine off eBay but a recent commenter says they're on Amazon too. google 'fix-a-drawer'

Use a 3mm drill to drill a pilot hole for the screw. Only drill about halfway into the piece you're drilling into. Hope that helps

No link, but if you Google fix-a-drawer or fix a drawer you'll find them.

Adam Paxton hi Adam, the may be a retaining screw somewhere on the glider. Thru are usually on the outside of the drawer going through th body of the drawer into the glider.

smilertiler1 that's great found it! Thanks :)

Hi. Yes exactly that. The board they put in the bottom of the draw is too flimsy. But these gadgets do work.😊

Just wanna say, I received the kit yesterday, Installed it on 3 drawers in about 25 minutes. Super easy. Thanks for the video
